the men who laid It, In fact I cannot even complain
about 1t. Like nearly every one else who goes ont

"By the way" said Mr.. Morrison al went to Flor
ida after my return from tho coast. and telling
this experience to old hotel proprietor there, when
he gave me point abo't the Florida roads which IS
not quite fattcring to their sagacity. Florida has
railroad commission which has considerable power In
tho regulation OF railroad rates of transportation
This commission requires the roads exact the same
fare per mile from tourists who travelling on long
distance tickets from local passengers travelling
short distances. In the fare amounts to
- or 20 cents par mile. The commissions excuse Is
that residents Of Florida entitled to as low fare as
outsiders II the tourist travels for cent mile,
they demand cont mile the rate for local traffic
The shortsGhcdnrss of this policy isapparcu to every
one except IN" commission II IS one of the obstacles
I'm the way Of making Florida great winter resort.
